Sep 7, 2017 at 13:17 comment added Thomas Carlisle I really like this answer, and especially this statement used in the context of Spring: "Configuring dependencies using XML is the worst of both worlds. First, you lose compile-time type safety, but you don't gain anything. An XML configuration file can easily be as big as the code it tries to replace."
